I want to create a private closed fork of signal that is a copy of the app with privately run server with the only big difference is that you make an account with username and not a phone and that account has to be approved by administrator. I’m not technically knowledgeable, but could a run of the mill developer do this setup or is it too much work, or something not possible to change in the published signal code.
I saw that in the past the didn’t support this type of forking.

It is definitely possible because signal is open source.
When you look at the github site you find a server and several clients.
I get that you only want to fork the server.
It is Java code. If all you want is to alter the login procedure, it should be an easy job for an experienced Java programmer. It is not trivial though, it needs expertese.
I think you should find a Java developer and ask.
